I don't care of the C6's and even if I like the C7, it'll be out of my range for so long that it'll probably be off limits.
Honestly, I couldn't imagine being happier then I am with my C5 vert. It's everything i've always wanted in a car (power, color, options, looks, ETC), and it would take a HECK of a lot to turn me. Nothing's impossible, but without any major kinks down the line, I'd like to think that i'll be letting my daughter drive it someday (not yet born).

Very late to the Vette world when I picked up my first (C4) in 2005. I loved that car but after 4 years or so even cars I love start getting "old." So, I upgraded to the C5 last December, which I enjoy much more. But, it too will be upgraded in 3 years, I am sure.

Never gonna sell this monster...I just really like the fixed roof coupe version of the vette....the C6 just doesnt do it for me...plus I hate the weak aluminum frame of the C6....it looks good though...but look at this beast...dont ask how much I have dropped on it...

Unless I have some serious financial hardship that would threaten the well being of my family without the sale of the car, it's not going anywhere. I just added the 2nd C5 to the collection. C6 ZR1 is next in a few years. I don't plan to sell either of them, but if worse comes to worse... Family > Cars

Well, when I was in high school I bought an 800 dollar IROC-Z28 that was sitting in a barn. I restored it to the point it was almost brand new. About 8 years later my wife wrecked it. I sat at the side of the road and cried like a baby. After that I went through a different car every 6 months or so. Camaros, Trans Ams, a GTO... It seemed like nothing could replace my IROC and I couldn't find another one like it or the price just wasn't right. When I bought my C5, for the first time ever, I got that same feeling that I got when I drove my old IROC. I still get that feeling every time I jump (or fall) into my C5. That's how I knew I had finally found the right car for me.
So yeah, I think I'll be keeping mine forever. Oh, and the wifey isn't allowed to drive this one

Yes, both of them
I have a 2000 FRC and a 2001 Z06. I will keep them all but when opportunity comes I'll swap upgraded componets from newer series Vettes to them. I just really like the hardtop/FRC/Z06 body lines.
